It is good to be John F. Kerry..... The F stands for Forbes in case you ever wondered.
He is one of the richest Senators in Government. When someone is elected president, it means the Secret Service has to protect the President and his family as well as his property.
The Kerry's have five US Pproperties not counting the several foreign properties they own too. The cost to run these homes are more than what the average American could afford, even if the rent was free, and all you had to pay was the water, gas and electric. Includsing ground keepers, maintenance, pool, and housekeepers. To be President would require the taxpayers to pay for all that now if elected. Including a complete staffed Secret Service security detail 24 hours a day! In addition to that we will have to pay for each of their homes for security improvements even if they never go to them all, that is, that just in case. Who do you you think will pay for all this? We pay! This takes all the expense off Kerry and puts it on us.
Nevertheless, factor in another major cost to Americans that Kerry does not want you to know about.
Becoming president would automatically include takeing care of all their properties with Secret Service Agents that includes five agents per six hour shift four times a day 365 days a year for the rest of their lives so long as they own those properties. It comes witih being President once you are elected. It requires us the taxpayers, to pay for this as well as his annual salary, as well as his retirements including the cost of living adjustments to boot, plus salaries and protection for all their real estate property, plus Secret Service Agents, and pay the bills for the rest of his life. In addition, feed the Secret Service Agents and pay the bills for the rest of his life.
Do the math. Five properties need to be protected. This requires five Secret Service Agents per shift, daily every six hours, per property! That is 20 Secret Service Agents per propery everydayper property including Holidays. Wow, what does that cost?
Lets say an average of 20 agents per property, each earning about $60K per agent to survey the perimeters and protect. Now times that by five properties so far. That is if the Kerryss do not buy any more properties afterwards. This also includes the Agents vehicles and repairs, gas, meals, days off, paid vacation, medical plan visits etc per agent.
Who pays? YOU pay, the whole time they are alive after becoming President! Is thhis the best use of our taxmonet electing Kerry to take care of all their properties, both foreign and domestic? On the other hand shouldn't he pay for his own? Yet, the Presidential salary couldn't afford it.
The more I think about paying for Kerry's properties everyday, just makes me happy keeping President Bush all the more merrier. Without raising taxes to boot.
How on earth would Kerry pay for everyone to have Healthcare, increase our military, and have us pay to protect his investments, all without raising our taxes? Tax and Spend Kerry is his party motto!
Which really has to make you wonder why anyone with his wealth, would take a salary as a U.S. Senator, never mind weant to be President? to serve the people? On the other hand, the People serve him and his wife!
Please pass the Mustard and do America a favor and pass this to your friends, lets keep Bush in the Whitehouse, and not have to protect another Kerry house.
